You cannot shop for wands with level 30 skills I think, but monsters can drop them.

So I go into a Nightmare game just now, and what does Akara have for sale? TWO +3 LR wands and a +1 Sanctuary scepter. I am now one of the people who I think should have tested first...

Anyways, burrowing through the Statistics forum, I see the real problem with FreshMeat's dream wand -- level 1 and 6 staffmods require too low an ilvl to spawn on the same item as a level 30 staffmod.

Re: Am I doomed???

I had a build nearly the exact same as the OP. It worked just fine. But I had awesome gear thanks to trading for all but worthless runes before 1.10 came out and then being one of the early auramancers.

Having to decide between the two, corpse explode and the poisons, that is, I now go CE, with 20 skeleton, 20 skele mastery, 20 mage, 1 revive, 1 clay golem, 1 golem mastery, 20 summon resistance, 1 amp damage, 20 corpse explode. The left overs go into revives or clay golem or golem mastery, depending on which area of the game you play most..

Then... act 2 might merc with equip runewords for thorns (bramble) and conviction (infinity) and equip yourself with beast for fanaticism, enigma for + to skills and teleport, 9 +summons charms, chaos charm, torch, and all the plus to skill gear you can get. That is some pretty tough gear to get, but if you succeed, you are pretty much invincible.

First kill is not a big deal cause you have Nihlathak's portal in act v that leads right into a field of corpses. Just raise those and you are fine. If it is in any other act, then you should manage to kill easily with your infinitied merc. The game is a walk-through with this build/gear, and, until you get gear, the corpse explode will keep safe.

Also, that level 1-1 clay golem is your best friend when it comes to the Ubers, slowing them down at about 62%, and up to 68% if you put your extra points there. He has tons of life and his slow is not activated by hit; it is an aura that effects that target when he first swings. You can kill all the ubers except Mephisto, who is a bit tricky, in about 2-3 minutes.
